Just got back to DC after flying over night because Donald Trump is forcing a vote on his devastating budget proposal. It’s hard to hold back the tears when trying to articulate how bad this bill truly is and what it will do to families and communities across this country.…
Speaker Johnson is adjourning the House early to protect Trump from the Epstein files. The victims deserve justice and the American people deserve answers. That’s why I’m backing a bill to expose the truth and hold abusers accountable. @POTUS, what are you so scared of?
BREAKING: Mike Johnson just canceled votes for Thursday and is sending the House home early for summer recess in order to shut down Democratic efforts to demand more votes on releasing the Epstein files.
Trump is not only going after immigrants themselves but now he's targeting the nonprofits and NGOs that help support them when they are in need. Disgraceful. Unlawful. Un-American. democrats-homeland.house.gov/news/press-rel…
What ICE is doing to women is horrifying and inhumane – including denying women in custody prenatal care. The Trump Administration is doing this in our name. And they must answer for it. I joined @DemWomensCaucus in calling for an investigation into violations against women in…
We’re demanding an immediate investigation into ICE and CBP’s treatment of women in custody. ICE and CBP’s abuse, mistreatment, and medical neglect of women must end. It’s time for answers, action and accountability.
13 years ago, 12 lives were lost in a mass shooting at a movie theater in Aurora. Our kids should be able to go to school, the grocery store, and movie theatre without worrying about their safety. We need federal gun safety policies to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous…
I’m using my position in Congress to request $3 million in federal funding to replace outdated wastewater infrastructure in Park County. Clean, safe water is non-negotiable for my family and yours. I’m fighting to secure this funding so we can keep making good on that promise to…
In Colorado, we know too well how scary and devastating wildfires can be. I’m using my position in Congress to safeguard our families.Today, I’m proud to highlight funding I requested to bolster fire prevention in Jeffco. This will help our first responders not only…
Today, I’m proud to highlight one of the 15 projects I’m fighting for in Congress – a new child care center in Cañon City! As a mom who’s been on long waitlists for both of my kids, I know how tough it is to find safe, affordable care – and it’s even harder in our rural areas.…
Construction in Colorado is just one of the many industries that will be impacted by Trump’s mass, indiscriminate deportations. Not only will these deportations leave jobs unfilled, it will affect American-born construction workers as the entire industry shrinks without the…
A lot of people ask me what it's like to be in Congress right now. While we’re not in power, we are not powerless. It was great to speak with @ChuckTodd about what it means to govern from the minority and what we can do in this moment when so many feel hopeless. Listen to my…
Great news! We just submitted our proposals for millions of dollars in federal funding to support 15 projects across our communities. From funding for affordable child care to our local infrastructure, these projects will improve our lives every day in #CO07. See the full…
Grateful to have had a seat at the negotiating table as a member of @USHouseFSC working to establish long-overdue regulations for digital currencies. Today, I voted for the GENIUS Act because as crypto & other digital assets have the potential to become the next financial…
Thanks to the thousands of people who’ve emailed, called, and reached out. I know this is a difficult time but we’ll get through it together. I’m here to fight alongside you. Take a listen as we answer some of your questions here.
Trump has never cared about the fentanyl crisis & he’s proving it every day by illegally withholding the federal funding our communities rely on to save the lives of people who are struggling with addiction. It’s devastating to think about the lives that will be lost & people…
“The money currently being withheld accounts for roughly half of the funds allocated by Congress for the OD2A program, which supports fentanyl response efforts in 49 states” npr.org/2025/07/16/nx-…
Remember when Trump promised "90 deals in 90 days?" Also his promise to lower costs on Day One? His reckless trade war with our allies is hurting our standing in the world and hardworking people here at home. I joined my Democratic colleagues in supporting a lawsuit that would…
When it comes to the Big Bad Bill, Trump is doing what he does best: lying. Trump is a con artist but he's not going to be able to con his way out of the suffering and pain that is going to hit families. This is going to be catastrophic for patients, hospitals, and providers in…
This is just Trump’s latest scam to enrich himself at the expense of the rest of us. That’s why I’m using my position on @USHouseFSC to cosponsor amendments so that Trump and future leaders can’t profit from their positions of power. Trump continues to sell off the interests…
Trump's Big Bad Bill is a catastrophe for our families Hospitals and nursing homes will shutter. Kids will go hungry. ERs will be completely overrun. And our healthcare costs will skyrocket. Trump said he was going to lower costs on day one. Instead he's wreaking havoc --…
